Doctor Who

Today saw the release of the soundtracks collection to lost episodes Volume 2.

Still within the Hartnell Era, this set comprises of "The Masacre of St Bartholomew's Eve" "The Celestial Toy maker" "The Savages" and "The Daleks Master Plan" three of the story's contained within, are considered by many to be black and white era who at it's best. And so the boxed set worth having in every Who fans collection. Not forgetting that the Daleks master plan is the longest Doctor Who story ever, taking place in twelve parts. All of these Story's are from the original series (season) three, which in it's self is largely missing.

Once again I am chiming in here to give everyone a heads up that Doctor Who: Podshock 236 is on its way. In the meantime, if you haven't heard it yet, the latest Hitchhiker's Guide to British Sci-Fi is out. Dave and Graeme who helped with DWP 235, also co-host in this episode.

Today is the birthday of David Jason (voice of Danger Mouse and recently recognized in UK's National Television Awards). What better way to celebrate his birthday, than listening to this episode of HHGTBSF. See the links below:

The BBC has announced that Hugh Bonnerville has been cast as a pirate captain for Series 6 in the spring.

Hugh says, "When I was a boy THAT music had me peeking out from behind the sofa every Saturday night... although the pirate's fears and demons are different to those of the young lad who watched through his fingers, they are no less terrifying; this new adventure is not for the faint-hearted."

It's a busy time with Gallifrey 22 now less than a month away. As with past years, we will have a special episode of Doctor Who: Podshock previewing the annual premier North American Doctor Who convention coming soon. Coming sooner than that will be Doctor Who: Podshock 235.

In the meantime, the latest episode of The Sonic Newsdriver has been released bringing you up to date on selected Doctor Who related news.

Once again Doctor Who: Podshock will be holding a meet and greet on Thursday, the 17th of February ("Gallifrey One Eve") 2011 at 10pm (PST) we will be holding a 'meet and greet' in the lobby of the Los Angeles Airport Marriott Hotel (same hotel as Gallifrey One).

It is an opportunity to come by and say hi to those involved with Doctor Who: Podshock, the hosts, the various correspondents, supporting subscribers, and regular contributors to the show and of course other listeners.

In addition to having a great deal of fun, we will be recording segments for an upcoming show. You never know who might drop by at the meet up. Last time, Doctor Who director, Graeme Harper joined us among other Gallifrey guests.
